Frameworks

Manchester-based producer Frameworks (Matthew Brewer) returns with his third studio album ‘Imagine Gold’ on LOCI Records. Sighting the album as a reflection of his taste rather than his skill, this album delivers a diversely influenced and executed body of work that reflects growth and maturity. Understated yet intricate, IG narrates and explores the process of creativity; “This album was about simplicity, about creating something I would listen to, ignoring the external validation I had often sought in the past to create something introspective and personal” explains Matthew. IG offers beauty and sophistication; it proudly states it’s a different record from its predecessors and it walks into the limelight offering no apologies. Analogue synths and tape-saturated drums show Matthew working with different palettes and expanding on past offerings.

Since Tides in 2015 Frameworks has been building a steady momentum playing the North American festival circuit, performing at Coachella, Electric Forest, Lightning in a Bottle, Camp Bisco, Global Eclipse Gathering, and the 20th anniversary of Shambhala. The most recent incarnation, ‘Frameworks Live’ takes audiences to a familiar place, giving the audience a truer representation of Matthews’s background and creative process.
